Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Religious History Semitic religions according to the formula in which I have had some part, ought to exhibit the religions of antiquity under an aspect somewhat different from that which the Symbolic school and the purely Hellenic school show by their works. The unity of the indo-european race, in opposition to the Semitic race, acknowledged in their reli gion, as in their language, will serve hereafter as a basis for the history of the religions Of antiquity. This does not touch the doctrine of the article in question, but it merely explains the silence I'have preserved with regard to recent discoveries which constitute an epoch in science. If I have not tried to fill up this omission, it is because the discoveries of which I speak have not yet been suffi ciently matured for presentation to the public as definite results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Religions In the course of this volume we shall study the roots and the higher growth of this tree, which through its age long development, as any tree changes its earth-drawn sustenance into something more ethereal, has transmuted terror into reverent awe, hunger into hope, lust into love. We shall trace the slow progress of such roots of religion as bear today the names taboo, fetishism, totemism; see how taboo invested with spiritual power the moral com mand, insured the home, and made for civilization; how fetishism confirmed the thought that man depends on a spiritual something, gave faith in a power that helped, and made that power the judge of right and wrong; how totemism linked man in communion with the divine and in conjunction with seasonal nature-worship founded ritual in the recurrent form necessary to religious stability. We shall see in short that the higher not only is above the lower but that it has ascended out of the lower. Savagery did not give place to civilization but developed into it, was already civilization in the germ. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prolegomena of the History of Religions I do not doubt that all real students of the History of Religion have by this time read M. Beville's book in the original. But the interest in the Science of Religion is spreading rapidly and widely, and there are large classes of English readers who seldom see a book which is published abroad, and who are more easily reached by an English translation. I hope, therefore, that M. Beville's book in its English trans lation will be read even more widely in England than it has been and I trust that it may help to remedy the injury which has of late been done to the Science of Religion in this country, both by its indiscriminate enemies and by its indiscriminate admirers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Religion: A Sketch of Primitive Religious Beliefs and Practices, and of the Origin and Character of the Great Systems The science of religion, though of such recent origin, has already passed beyond its earliest stage, as a reference even to its earlier and its later names will show. Comparative Religion was the title given at first to the combined study of various religions. What had to be done was to compare these systems. The facts about them had to be collected, the systems arranged according to the best information pro curable, and then laid side by side, that it might be seen what features they had in common and what each had to distinguish it from the others. Work of this kind is still abundantly necessary. The collection of materials and the specifying of the'similarities and dissimilarities of the various faiths will long occupy many workers. This science, like every other, begins with classification. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christian History Not be supplanted and a new order introduced without a Violent shock to the whole existing order of things. One who would give an exact picture of the civilised world of Augustusfs time, of its cities, its manners, its amusements - who could make it live again in the pages of history and render its modern equivalent - Would at the same time afford an explanation of its decay. The first impression left on us by such a sketch would no doubt be one of vast outward prosperity. N ever had life seemed more brilliant and more gay than in the first century of our era. N ever had the elements of dispeace and confusion seemed more utterly banished. Never had a civil Government reached more that centralisa tion of power which seemed to guarantee its perpetuity. The Roman peace brooded over all the quarters of the civilised world. The vast Roman State, stretching out its arms in all directions, was only the visible represen tation of the power of one man, who had absorbed all lesser powers and magistracies in his own person - who, through his ministers and agents, was present in every part of its remote dominions, conscious of the minutest actions, and of the slightest throb of life, powerful ever to reward or punish. The only real unity indeed existing in that immense dominion was expressed by the Autocrat's absolute will, and by the supreme power of the conquering people. All the subject-races re tained, no doubt, to some extent, their own individuality, more so in the East than in the West. The picture of the empire at this period is a varied and majestic one. Ou the very outskirts of the Roman power one might come on rich and populous cities. Seleucia, on the Tigris, rebuilt and enlarged, occupied, after the capital, the most important position in point of population; Antioch came next. It had lately been laid out by.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of Religion on the Basis of Its History The question of the origin of religion, and of the nature of primitive religion, was not, as a rule, seriously taken up by the early philosophy of religion, nor made the subject of any thorough investi gation; in recent times, however, it has come to the front, and has become one of the burning questions of religious science. And this is as it should be. For the nature of a mental phenomenon such as religion, is only unfolded in the totality of its development in history, and can only be understood as a whole when its origin has been traced, and its springs laid bare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christianity The Essays have not been written for special ists, nor for professional unbelievers, but solely to relieve some of the difficulties under which popular religious thought labors because of misunderstanding. Indeedl the entire volume might be described as _an aid to progressive or thodoxy, or as_a_n to combine the new theology with the __old religion. That the future as well as the past belongs to the old religion I am perfectly sure. This religion has often been ignorantly and inadequately conceived, and even caricatured at times by its disciples, but it has the advantage over all its competitors and proposed substitutes of being alive; and life counts for much in organic history, spiritual as well as physical. At the same time the old religion may need a new theology for its better expression and formulation, and in this sense a new theology may be a valuable aid to the old religion.

Download or read book History of Religions, Vol. 2 written by George Foot Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Religions, Vol. 2: Judaism, Christianity, Mohammedanism Each of them, conceiving itself as the one true religion, attributes to itself finality, and believes itself destined to universality. In them all the ideal of universality assumed political forms. In Judaism, indeed, the dream of ruling over the nations of the earth in the name of the Lord never had a chance to translate itself into historical reality or even into essay. But in Christianity and Islam the idea of empire as the embodiment of religion dominated centuries of history, and ruthless wars of conquest glorified themselves as the victories of the faith. A further consequence of the ideal of exclusive universality in Christendom was the prin ciple that a Christian state should not tolerate within it any other religion than Christianity, nor any other kind of Christianity than the one true kind. Religious liberty logi cally involves the secularisation of the state. In modern times the expansion of both Christianity and Islam has been by commerce, missions, and colonisation rather than by conquest, but commerce and missions have often been but steps to protection, occupation, and annexa tion by Christian states. The belief in ultimate universality must persist as long as each believes itself the one true reli gion, and so long as it persists the religions must strive in the ways of the time to achieve their universal destiny.
